Hello bluesky world
Brand new tooling sound fitted Bachmann 47 for £177. There are definitely model railway bargains out there to be had if you look around. This came from Model Railways Direct. Great service, ordered Friday, arrived Saturday!

At nearly 3ft in length per set, I'm glad I only bought two packs of @revolutiontrains.bsky.social WIAs. Can't wait to run these. They really look the business! #TMRGUK

Not posted for a while. Been busy enhancing my basic layout. Backscene and a bit of scatter makes all the difference!

New (old 2020) bachmann 66 joins the fleet. £60 eBay win. Nice to see some bargains to be had still there on occasion!

HM7000 Bluetooth firmware update time. I'm now up to 4 of these sound decoders now. All using megabase or iPhone speakers from Roads & Rails.

Haul from the NEC NFMR today. Thought it was a great show and can only get better. Some noticeable absences but lots of smaller traders to make up for it. Weather not ideal but still worth the 2.5 hour drive up. I'd go again tomorrow if it was closer! #BSMRGUK

Well this is simply lovely 👌

Managed to fix my NCE PowerCab by replacing the encoder. Hardest part was getting the failed one out. I shouldn't have doubted my soldering skills as it's working perfectly! #BSMRGUK

Well it wouldn't be Dapol 73 without some bits falling off while handling it as lightly as possible would it 😬 #BSMRGUK

Tickets bought for next weekends National Festival of Railway Modelling at the NEC. Anyone else going? #TMRGUK #BSMRGUK #IGMRG #MySpaceMRGUK

Accurascale class 66's and 37's (DCC ready) now only £144 brand new - Much cheaper then the ebaY scalpers!!

I've exhausted my model railway budget this month so I'm out lol 🤣

This cannot be standard wiring? Not sure I can easily re-DCC this second hand Hornby 156 back to how it left the factory. May split for what parts are useful and list on eBay #TMRGUK #BMRGUK

Deleted my model railway X account. Tried to reset the algorithm by starting again but was soon pigeon holed down a far right wing agenda and followed by umpteen lady-bots. F that!

Despite the recent influx of new Accurascale 66's, an old Bachmann favourite makes a welcome appearance on an engineers train. #TMRGUK #BSMRGUK

What better way to spend a solo night shift than fitting an ESU sound decoder, accurathrash speaker and crew. Should also be able to properly run in nicely on the rolling road too 😀

Wife out for a pub quiz, kids asleep in bed. Another Accurascale 66 purchased. I really shouldn't be left unsupervised 🤣

My rekindled love affair with model railways started again in 2017. Just going back through the history of my initial eBay purchases. Look at these winning prices back then. I never use that Networker. Must be worth more than £65 now! #bmrguk

Freightliner 70 on the container run with squeaky KFAs and passenger services return to the layout after a noticeable absence... #TMRGUK #BMRGUK

Bachmann DRS 37 688 fitted with Hornby TXS Bluetooth Sound. Noisy machine even with the tiny sugar cube speaker!
